Independent Research

• Forecasting of Wind for Energy in Southern Idaho, by Kevin Nuss, Paul Dawson, and Todd Haynes
  Boise State University College of Engineering. "As part of a research project aimed at improving
  forecasted wind speeds for the purpose of making wind energy more usable, various physics options
  in WRF were investigated. These were compared to readings from a Triton sodar placed on the site
  of an operational wind farm in southwest Idaho, on the Snake River plain...." PDF >
